I'm kind of worried about spraying...there is a constant wind where we're
parked and very close proximity to two other boats...the red one wouldn't be
as problematical as the white if errant nacy spray came wafting by....I used
foam rollers on the Butterfly...

they made a mess of it...opinions: roll or brush?


Bush if you must, spray if you can. All plastic boats look like crap
with brushed on coatings IMO. Rolling on is not a good ideal.


Glad to hear the deep freeze is giving you a break.



I'm going to use
Petit...I used that on the Butterfly and it looks great except where
we
still haven't sanded down the huge patch from being holed...)


What! did bob sail your butterfly?





Still have to
get a couple cans of VC-17 to augment the cans we have...2 coats of
varnish
on the sole and a few more to go....and have to get that main cover
ordered...all of a sudden we're getting the feeling that we're coming
down
to the wire and there's much to be done.


Better get busy before the frost sets in again.
